The C-14 analyzer will not cheat. At least it is an 18th century antique, so Qin Shiou knew that its price would not be low, but 1.6 million was not high, so as soon as the price came out, he raised his hand and shouted, "1.65 million."

    Other collectors probably looked at him. Many people in the front row looked back at him. The rich UAE businessman who had previously photographed the head of a woman also waved his hand and said, "1.7 million!"

    Qin Shiou smiled and didn''t speak. He was waiting for other people''s quotation. When the final price came out, he could directly raise it and win it, saving so much trouble.

    Sure enough, two more people offered to raise the price to 1.9 million. The auctioneer shouted ''1.9 million for the first time'', Qin Shiou raised his hand and said in a loud voice: "2 million!"

    Alan Brandon, sitting next to him, spread his hands and made a helpless gesture. He smiled at Qin Shiou: "young man, calm, calm, don''t be impulsive. This is 2 million. Just buy a piece of rotten wood?"

    Qin Shiou turned his head and said with a smile, "there''s no way, rich and willful!"

    For an 18th century ambergris sculpture that did not receive official attention, CAD 2 million was the limit price. Even the rich businessmen in the United Arab Emirates had nothing to say, shook their heads and gave up bidding.

    Two million, Poseidon''s food is here.

    Brandon still shook his head. Qin Shiou thought it was nothing. He had a hunch that it would surprise him.

    Qin Shiou was not interested in the later auction items. Instead, there was a brush painting by master Qi Baishi. He was very moved and had the consciousness to buy back national treasures for the nation. Unfortunately, the price was too high. The final transaction price was 15.5 million Canadian dollars, and his whole body money was not enough.

    The last big play is the statue of Perseus and medusa. The auctioneer doesn''t need to say anything more. As soon as this thing is carried out, the collectors on the scene will have bright eyes.

    In fact, many people participated in the auction this time. According to little black, there were more than 200 people, but at least 50 people did not move during the auction of 47 Works of art. There is no doubt that these people are waiting for the statue.

    "... our starting price is $24 million, with an increase of $1 million each time!"

    As soon as the auctioneer''s voice fell, a fat Russian rich immediately stood up and shouted, "26 million!"

    "27 million!" An elegant middle-aged man followed the offer. Little black whispered to Qin Shiou: "this man comes from the British Bergen family, which is an old aristocratic family originated in the Renaissance."

    "28 million!"“ He is a French collector and his family has a steel factory. "

    "29 million!"“ This man is Italian. It is said that his family has business relations with the Mafia. "

    ……

    Qin Shiou was happy to see these people bidding. The higher the price, the better it would be for him. If the auction had not stipulated that the owner could not raise the price, he would like to directly raise the price to 35 million.

    As a result, coincidentally, at this time, the UAE tycoon who had been in the limelight waved his hand and said blandly, "35 million!"

    As soon as his price was quoted, it seemed that someone lit a string of firecrackers at the scene, and everyone immediately began to scream.

    Another Russian predator stood up and said, "36 million!"

    Qin Shiou tightly covered his crotch. No, no, no, one library, one library, we''re going to shoot!

    Now those rich people from Europe are angry. This bronze carving is one of the representative works of the European Renaissance. It was lost in the first World War. All Europeans with a little sense of racial honor want to find him back. Now that the statue finally appears, how can they do nothing?

    In the eyes of European tycoons, Russian giants and local tyrants in the Middle East simply deceive people too much. Where do they think this is? They think this is their one-third of an acre. Can they cover the sky with one hand?

    For the works of art in front of them, the European rich did not participate in the shooting because of their identity. It seems that if the local tyrants don''t buy it, the European rich will be impolite.

    Several representatives of large European families gathered together and whispered for a while, and then sent a representative to offer: "40 million!"

    Hearing the price, several Russian giants looked at each other and shook their heads. They wanted to win the symbolic statue, but it was obvious that the statue was not worth 40 million in their hearts.

    The auctioneer also felt that the price was almost the same. He was about to shout, but the local tyrant in the Middle East raised his hand again: "45 million!"

    While making an offer, the local tyrants in the Middle East looked coldly at the European rich. The moral was unspoken: the world now is not the world dominated by Europe 80 years ago. If you want to rob something from us * * *, give some blood.

    The rich in Europe were mad with anger. This was their national treasure. They had to take it back anyway, so someone bit his teeth and said, "46 million!"

    When the local tyrant in the Middle East waved his hand, he didn''t need to speak in person this time. A man dressed as an assistant shouted, "50 million!"

    Hearing this price, Qin Shiou''s eyes were directly congested and red. His hands didn''t cover his crotch. If you want to shoot, shoot. Now it''s changed to cover his heart.

    At this time, the rich in Europe could not stand it. These people gathered together and bit their ears for a while. Finally, they weakly increased the price and said, "52 million!"

    "55 million!" The assistant of the local tyrant in the Middle East proudly offered.

    Little black held Qin Shiou''s hand and said, "Congratulations, Qin, you have entered the ranks of quasi billionaires!"

    Qin Shiou pulled back his hand and continued to cover his heart. He was considering whether to ask the waiter to call the emergency number.

    Fortunately, the quotation finally stopped. The local tyrants in the Middle East gave a fatal blow to the European rich with a price ladder of 5 million. After he quoted a price of 55 million, the European rich finally collapsed.

    The auctioneer shouted out three quotations rhythmically, then knocked the hammer hard and said in a high voice: "the standard King was born. Mr. afaf Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan from the United Arab Emirates won the bronze statue of Perseus and medusa at a high price of 55 million. Let''s congratulate him with applause!"

    "Pa Pa Pa!" Qin Shiou clapped loudly.

    The rich in Europe were disheartened. They clapped their hands politely and then left one after another. It is estimated that they are not in the mood to attend the subsequent dinner.

    The fake "sunflower" is 540000, the other paintings of Pina Jean are 1 million, and the paintings of Picasso are 2.5 million. With this 55 million, Qin Shiou''s worth is close to 60 million.

    However, he also has to pay personal income tax on art auction. Canada''s requirement is 22%, but Auerbach told him that he can reasonably avoid tax, and has helped him think out a tax avoidance plan.

    So anyway, this time he really became a local tyrant.

    The dinner was still held in this five-star hotel called four seasons. Little black took Qin Shiou around and introduced him to many rich people in Canada.

    After a belly of champagne, Qin Shiou came back from the toilet and saw little black standing with Alan Brandon sitting next to him at the previous auction, talking and laughing, so he walked over.

    Little black raised his glass. Qin Shiou knew that he would introduce someone to him again.

    Sure enough, this time little black pointed his glass at Alan Brandon and said with a smile, "Qin, I think you already know Alan. Now allow me to introduce you again. This is Alan Brandon, general manager of Newfoundland Labrador branch of Bank of Montreal. You come from the same place and should communicate more."

    He can be the president of the bank and is a big member of the separatist party. Alan Brandon''s communication skills are naturally speechless. When he meets again, he flatters Qin Shiou in all directions, and uses Mandarin!

    Qin Shiou knew Brandon''s meaning. He also said bluntly in Mandarin: "don''t worry, man, my money will be stored in your bank. However, don''t sell me any financial products for the time being, because I want to be quiet..."

    "Quiet, who is quiet?" Brandon asked, pretending to be confused.

    Qin Shiou smiled. He naturally knew this piece from * * and could see that Brandon had worked hard to win his 50 million yuan.

    "You had a good talk. Would you mind inserting someone?" A gentle voice sounded. Qin Shiou looked back and saw the Middle East local tyrant who bought Perseus and medusa coming over with a smile.

    Qin Shiou naturally doesn''t mind meeting a local tyrant in the Middle East. As for a banker like Brandon, he is thirsty for such a friend.

    Before, little black wanted to entertain the UAE local tyrant named afaf Sheikh ha Lifa Ben Zayed Al Nahyan. However, when he arrived at the dinner party, he stood in a corner of the hall and drank himself. No matter how thick his skin was, he was embarrassed to disturb others.

    Several people didn''t have in-depth communication. They just met each other and left each other. Qin Shiou didn''t wait for the end of the banquet. He directly chose to return to the room in the name of being unable to drink.

    "Go, Qin. Enjoy the night. I''ve prepared a gift for you. I hope you like it." Little black blinked and smiled, cunning like a little fox.

    Qin Shiou was really drunk, but he went back early to study the "Poseidon food" he had just got.
